Add clear dhcp server lease function
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Dear, Developers
I need dhcp lease clear feature.

After enable this

set service dhcp-server hostfile-update

I can find hostname of linux servers with hosts file. But when i try to rename the hostname. Where i can clean dhcp lease immediatly?
I found that edgeos has the command clear dhcp lease ip 172.16.3.20 to force delete the lease. Can we implement in vyos ? This is immport for me.

Sadly, two years later, OMAPI is still unsuitable for this purpose.

There is NO way to delete a lease:

dmbaturin@reki:~$ omshell
> key defomapi ...
> connect
>new "lease"
> set ip-address = 10.91.19.70
obj: lease
ip-address = 0a:5b:13:46

>remove
can't destroy object: not implemented

Some people suggest setting the state of an existing lease to free (code 1), e.g. the author of omcmd (which, by the way, no longer compiles). However, that doesn't work either.

Instead, it creates a duplicate least in the "free" state, but the original lease with the "active" state persits, so the action has no effect.

Last tested on 4.4.1
